Among my most ordered sugar decorations are cartoon characters, figurines, and girly stuffs, e.g. handbags, accessories, makeup, etc. Once in a while, a customer would order some male things for her boyfriend. I find these items a little more difficult as I’m not really family with its appearance and structure. Yet, it’s fun to make and quite cute in its miniature form. Here are a few items I’ve done before. Enjoy!

What would you buy/give to your best friend’s grand opening of her new restaurant/business?

The typical gift for Thai, or probably in other parts of the world as well, would be a lovely, big bouquet. But won’t that be a little bit unoriginal? No offense here, but I just wanted to give her something that was actually ‘from me’. Something that she could just see and identify it with me.

Since I’m a cake decorator, I decided to go for the floral-themed cupcakes. And, since I should give her some flowers anyway, so why not giving her the edible ones! The only thing that makes it not such a good idea was that she was opening a dessert bar, and it might look a bit funny to get some dessert for a dessert bar. Well, I’d been debating with myself for a long while and, as I really couldn’t come up with a better idea, I decided to go for it…with the excuse for myself that it’s not just a dessert, it’s well-decorated box of cupcakes! Hmm..

I was not sure how she felt about it, but she would be kind enough not to tell me how ridiculous the idea was if she really felt so. Anyway, I did enjoy making these cupcakes a lot. At least one of us were happy, right?

I would love to hear from you what would be your gift of choice in this kind of situation? Perhaps I need to borrow your ideas for my next event! 😉
